If you have a hot-weather vacation on your calendar, No. 1, I hate you, and No. 2, it's time to start thinking about how you're going to transform from walking icicle to beach bombshell. I have a little help for you from celebrity makeup artist Matin Maulawizada, who worked on the new Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. Because while we can't all have Chrissy Teigen's butt, we can emulate her sunny radiance! (What are your thoughts on that cheeky 50th-anniversary cover, BTW?)

To minimize sun damage Around noon, go nap in your hotel instead of baking on the beach. "Beach days should be only during morning and late afternoons, like on shoot days—never when the sun is up fully!" Matin says. "Sunscreen might help with burns, but the damaging rays will still penetrate the skin and show up later as age spots, undesirable texture, or, God forbid, worse."

To make skin look pretty (while protected) Use products that double as your moisturizer/lotion and sunscreen. "I always prep the skin with Laura Mercier Mega Moisturizer or Face Shield and use Mega Moisturizer all over the body, since sunscreen can cast a bluish look on the skin," Matin says. "I also use tinted moisturizer on the models' faces. It has light texture and I can reapply it for more SPF protection after a couple of hours."

If you want more coverage and faux glow Swap out your usual foundation for something more beach-specific. "For beach shoots I often perfect the skin more with Secret Camouflage instead of relying on a heavier foundation. It keeps the skin natural and glowy. I often go a couple of shades darker to give the 'tan' look, so the model doesn't have to fry herself or get a fake tan the day before."

To cover up body imperfections (scars, leg veins, etc.) Conceal them just like you would a pimple on your face—but use a special body concealer. "I usually opt for Make Up for Ever Face & Body because it's water-resistant," Matin says.

To get a little glam Beach sexy is all about smudging on a little kohl. "A black-rimmed eye looks amazing with tan skin. For this, one of my favorite pencils is Laura Mercier Black Gold," Matin says. If you're more subtle, "sheer lip colors like Baby Lips look beautiful on the beach."

To add just a subtle touch of pretty Don't just apply your everyday hint of blush. "Cheeks play an important part. I love using bronzer and a bright cheek to imitate a sun-kissed look," Matin says. "Don't be shy about opting for a bright blush when getting ready for the beach or in the summer."
